Evidential Recording

Course Overview

This package is intended for those individuals who work in a role, where there is a likelihood of being required to record events in a manner which is fit to present as evidence. On the face of it, it may seem a straight forward process of writing down what you see, right? Wrong! There are many pitfalls to a poorly recorded witness statement, not least the potential for your vital evidence to come under severe scrutiny or worse, become inadmissible in Court.

We will enhance your observation skills, report writing methods and equip you with the skills you need to confidently record and present to a Court of Law as a credible witness.

Course Duration

2 days training room-based delivery.

Course Delivery

The presentation can be delivered at our training rooms or at your premises by one of our Crime and Investigation experts. All the consultants at Millbank Solutions are highly experienced operators who have learned to train, not trainers who have learned the subject matter! We believe this is important given the gravity of the package content. However, we promise an engaging delivery which will promote discussion of ideas amongst attendees.
